• 2 tablespoons light olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of flour

How to make homemade stew meat croquettes:
We clean the meat of bones and fat. We chop it all with scissors or we can pass it through a grinder so that the stew croquettes are softer.
Sauté the chopped onion in a large skillet over low heat, with butter and the tablespoons of oil. It should be well done and a little golden.
When the onion is golden, add the meat to the pan. We remove it so that everything comes together and takes on the flavor of the onion. Then, we put the 2-3 tablespoons of flour. We remove well and let it do a little with everything. Add the broth little by little and stir to integrate it well. Remember that you can use both a variety of meat broth and chicken broth to make homemade stew croquettes. Then, we add the milk, too, little by little. We will be adding as we need, so we must be aware.
At this point, we add a little salt and ground nutmeg to add an extra touch of flavor to the stew meat croquettes. Stir until a dense mass remains, which detaches from the pan. We turn off. Transfer the dough to a plate and let cool for a while in the fridge. When the dough is cold, we prepare the homemade croquettes. To do this, beat the eggs on a plate and put the breadcrumbs on another plate. Once this is done, we form the croquettes and pass them through the egg and then through the breadcrumbs.
Heat a frying pan with plenty of oil and fry the stew croquettes when hot. We remove, leave them on a plate with kitchen paper to remove excess oil and they will be ready. If you don’t want to make all the homemade stew meat croquettes, freeze them before frying them and you will have them for another occasion. We can prepare a sauce, serve them with mayonnaise, pink sauce.
